Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

Dermatology – Skin Cancer
•In September, the Company presented new data on DecisionDx-Melanoma from the largest, prospective multi-center study of gene expression profiling (GEP) in cutaneous melanoma to date, involving 2,799 patients across 29 U.S. centers. This study, presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2026, supports the use of DecisionDx-Melanoma in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and risk of recurrence decision-making management. Among 676 patients with low-risk i31-SLNB results who underwent SLNB had an observed SLN positivity of 4.4%, and 565 SLNB-eligible patients with low-risk results who did not undergo SLNB had five-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) of 99.6%. These findings support identifying low-risk patients who may safely forgo SLNB. A separate analysis of 687 patients with transected melanomas showed that patients with early-stage disease (stage I–IIA) and high-risk Class 2B results had recurrence risk similar to stage IIB disease, supporting closer surveillance when staging is uncertain. See the Company’s news release from September 30, 2026, for more information.
•The Company announced the publication of a multi-center study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) validating the integrated DecisionDx-SCC test result (i40-GEP) for patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). DecisionDx-SCC analyzes 40 genes to provide results related to prognosis and response to adjuvant radiation therapy (ART) based on an individual patient’s tumor biology. The enhanced algorithm integrates the molecular data with five clinicopathologic risk factors (immunosuppression, tumor diameter, histological differentiation, perineural invasion and anatomic site) using optimized nested predictive models. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive assessment of metastatic risk, local recurrence risk and likelihood of benefit from ART. The study published in JAAD showed that the test results can shift or stratify patients across clinically actionable risk thresholds, supporting risk-aligned decisions regarding patient follow-up, surveillance imaging, multidisciplinary referral and ART. See the Company’s news release from September 9, 2026, for more information.

Dermatology – Atopic Dermatitis
•The Company announced the publication of a new study highlighting the challenges patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) experience in achieving their treatment goals and

strong patient interest in molecular testing to help guide systemic therapy selection. The findings support the clinical need for molecular guidance in AD care. Castle’s AdvanceAD-Tx test is designed to address this need by helping personalize systemic therapy decisions based on an individual patient’s underlying disease biology. This new paper complements an earlier prospective, multicenter clinical validation study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology that demonstrated the ability of AdvanceAD-Tx to identify differences in systemic therapy class response in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. See the Company’s news release from September 24, 2026, for more information.

Gastroenterology
•The Company announced the publication of a study showing that its TissueCypher Barrett’s Esophagus test helped guide risk-aligned management decisions for patients with non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE). In the study, clinicians changed their management recommendations 90% of the time after receiving TissueCypher results, including escalating management for all patients with intermediate- or high-risk results and de-escalating management for 84% of those with low-risk results. See the Company’s news release from September 28, 2026, for more information.
•The Company announced the publication of a new decision modeling study showing that the TissueCypher Barrett’s Esophagus test can help better align Barrett’s esophagus (BE) management with a patient’s individual risk of progression to high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). In the study, simulated use of TissueCypher significantly increased appropriate management aligned with known progression outcomes across patients with NDBE, indefinite for dysplasia (IND) and low-grade dysplasia (LGD). See the Company’s news release from September 15, 2026, for more information.
Pipeline Initiatives
•In September, SciBase, the Company’s collaboration partner developing the use of electrical impedance spectroscopy technology to predict relapses in atopic dermatitis announced that Castle placed an additional order for acceleration of the Company’s current, ongoing clinical study and preparations for a second clinical study under the collaboration. The order consisted of both the portable pen device and electrodes to a value of approximately $0.6 million. Deliveries began early in the fourth quarter 2026.

Corporate
•The Company announced the opening of its new laboratory and office facility in Scottsdale, Arizona. The 55,000-square-foot facility, located within the 260-acre Perimeter Center business park, expands Castle’s operational footprint in the Phoenix metropolitan area. This investment gives our teams additional space, infrastructure and capacity to support our work on behalf of patients and clinicians today as well as our anticipated growth in the future. See the Company’s news release from September 22, 2026, for more information.

October 6, 2026 announcement
On October 6, 2026, Caribou announced that its Board of Directors had approved a restructuring of operations as the company conducts a process to explore strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value, which may include, but are not limited to, a merger, acquisition, business combination, or other strategic transactions involving the company and/or its assets, including dissolution and liquidation.

Included in the restructuring is the planned discontinuation of Caribou’s clinical trials and further development activities for vispa-cel and CB-011, a substantial reduction in workforce, and other cost reduction measures. The Board took these actions in view of the current financing environment for allogeneic CAR-T cell therapies, which has made it increasingly challenging to secure the capital necessary to responsibly advance vispa-cel and CB-011.

Caribou has not set a timeline for the completion of the review of strategic alternatives, does not intend to provide further updates unless and until the Board has approved a course of action, the review process is concluded, or disclosure is otherwise determined to be appropriate or required.

About vispacabtagene regedleucel
Vispacabtagene regedleucel (vispa-cel; formerly known as CB-010) is an allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL). To Caribou’s knowledge, vispa-cel is the first allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy in the clinic with a PD-1 knockout, a genome-editing strategy designed to enhance CAR-T cell activity by limiting premature CAR-T cell exhaustion. Vispa-cel is pivotal trial-ready, with FDA alignment already reached on the phase 3 clinical trial design. To Caribou’s knowledge, vispa-cel is the first allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy to demonstrate safety, efficacy, and durability on par with autologous CAR-T cell therapies. The FDA granted vispa-cel Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT), Fast Track, and Orphan Drug designations for B-NHL.

About CB-011
CB-011 is an allogeneic anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM). To Caribou’s knowledge, CB-011 is the first allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy in the clinic that is engineered to enable activity through an immune cloaking strategy with a B2M knockout and insertion of a B2M–HLA-E-peptide fusion protein to blunt immune-mediated rejection. Clinical data from the CB-011 CaMMouflage phase 1 trial has demonstrated the potential for deep, durable responses in patients with r/r MM. The FDA granted CB-011 RMAT, Fast Track, and Orphan Drug designations for r/r MM.

"Throughout the year, we have continued to build evidence supporting cemsidomide’s potential as a backbone therapy across the multiple myeloma treatment landscape while advancing our clinical development plan to evaluate cemsidomide in late and earlier lines of therapy," said Andrew Hirsch, president and chief executive officer of C4 Therapeutics. "Growing clinical and translational insights from our program as well as the broader class of cereblon-modulating protein degraders of IKZF1/3 continue to support the potential for these investigational treatments to enhance immune-based therapies, reinforcing our conviction in cemsidomide’s development strategy. Looking ahead, we remain focused on completing enrollment in our Phase 2 MOMENTUM trial and advancing the Phase 1b trial in combination with elranatamab. With data expected from these trials in 2027, we believe next year will be pivotal in establishing cemsidomide’s therapeutic profile and its potential to address the significant unmet need of patients with multiple myeloma across an evolving standard of care."

THIRD QUARTER 2026 UPDATES AND RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS

The Phase 1b trial evaluating cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab (ELREXFIO), a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) × CD3 bispecific antibody, in earlier lines of multiple myeloma (MM) treatment continues to advance. The Safety Data Review Committee determined that the 75 µg cemsidomide dose level was safe to proceed, and the trial has advanced to a dose escalation safety cohort at the 100 µg cemsidomide dose level and an expansion cohort at the 75 µg cemsidomide dose level. Data from all evaluated cohorts are expected in mid-2027.
C4T presented new biomarker data from its Phase 1 and Phase 1b clinical trials at the 23rd International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting in September 2026. Immunomodulatory effects observed in the Phase 1 trial evaluating cemsidomide in combination with dexamethasone demonstrated robust T-cell activation, a key component of cemsidomide’s dual mechanism of action. In addition, early biomarker data from the first two patients enrolled in the Phase 1b trial evaluating cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab reinforced cemsidomide’s ability to drive T-cell activation and expansion as well as prevent T-cell exhaustion. These data continue to support cemsidomide’s potential as a combination partner for immune-based therapies in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
A trial-in-progress poster featuring the Phase 1b design for the trial evaluating cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab in RRMM will be presented at the 68th American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting taking place from December 12 – 15, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Title: A multicenter study to evaluate the safety and preliminary antimyeloma activity of different doses of cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab in subjects with RRMM
Date/Time: December 12, 2026 from 5:30 – 7:30 PM CT/ 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET
The Phase 2 MOMENTUM trial evaluating cemsidomide in combination with dexamethasone in late-line MM is on track to complete enrollment in the first quarter of 2027. The initial investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR) data are expected in the second half of 2027.
An additional Phase 1b trial evaluating cemsidomide across two treatment arms in RRMM patients is on track to initiate in the first half of 2027. The trial will evaluate: 1) cemsidomide, dexamethasone, and daratumumab, a CD38-targeted antibody; and 2) cemsidomide, dexamethasone, and carfilzomib, a proteasome inhibitor. Both treatment arms will enroll patients who have received at least one prior line of therapy. The cemsidomide starting dose will be 75 µg.
At the 9th Annual Targeted Protein Degradation Summit that took place from October 26 – 29, 2026, C4T unveiled its novel DNA-encoded library (DEL) that leverages C4T’s large library of cereblon-binding ligands and screening capabilities. The addition of DEL to C4T’s TORPEDO platform creates a powerful hit-finding engine that enables the rapid development of targeted protein degraders.

THIRD QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $8.5 million, compared to $11.2 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily related to the conclusion of certain research activities in 2025 associated with the collaborations with Merck and Merck KGaA, Darmstadt Germany, offset by an increase in revenue recognized under the Roche Degrader-Antibody Conjugate collaboration agreement.

Research and Development (R&D) Expense: R&D expense for the third quarter of 2026 was $24.8 million, compared to $26.0 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in R&D expense was primarily due to lower personnel costs from reduced stock-based compensation expense, offset by higher clinical expense associated with the advancement of its ongoing cemsidomide clinical trials.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expense: G&A expense for the third quarter of 2026 was $8.3 million compared to $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in G&A expense was primarily due to lower personnel costs from reduced stock-based compensation expense.

Net Loss and Net Loss per Share: Net loss for the third quarter of 2026 was $21.8 million, compared to $32.2 million for the third quarter of 2025. Net loss per share for the third quarter of 2026 was $0.16, compared to $0.44 for the third quarter of 2025.

Cash Position and Financial Guidance: Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2026, were $274.7 million, compared to $300.4 million as of June 30, 2026, and $297.1 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities during the third quarter of 2026 was driven by cash used to fund operations and advance its programs. C4T expects that its current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will fund its operating plan to the end of 2028.

About Cemsidomide
Cemsidomide is an investigational oral cereblon-modulating protein degrader of IKZF1/3, transcription factors foundational to multiple myeloma biology. Data from the fully enrolled Phase 1 trial show cemsidomide’s differentiated safety and tolerability profile and potentially class-leading anti-myeloma activity that supports the potential for durable outcomes.

About the MOMENTUM Trial
MOMENTUM (Multi-center trial Of cemsidoMidE iN relapsed/refracTory mUltiple Myeloma) is a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cemsidomide in combination with dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Data from the Phase 1 trial identified 100 µg as the recommended Phase 2 dose. The primary endpoint is overall response rate per International Myeloma Working Group response criteria, as assessed by an independent review committee. Approximately 100 patients who have received at least three prior anti-myeloma regimens that must have included an IKZF1/3 degrader, a proteasome inhibitor, an anti-CD38 antibody, and a T-cell engager or CAR-T therapy will be enrolled in the trial. More information is available at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT07284758).

About Cemsidomide in Combination With Elranatamab (ELREXFIO)
The Phase 1b trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of cemsidomide and dexamethasone in combination with elranatamab, an FDA-approved B-cell maturation antigen CD3 targeted bispecific antibody. Data generated from the cemsidomide Phase 1 trial in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma demonstrate robust T-cell activation and cytokine expression across multiple doses. By activating immune T-cells, cemsidomide, when combined with a BCMAxCD3 bispecific such as elranatamab, may amplify the anti-myeloma immune response and lead to deeper and more durable responses. The study will evaluate different cemsidomide dose levels in patients who have received one to four prior lines of therapy, which must have consisted of at least one IKZF1/3 degrader. Exclusion criteria for patients include those who have received prior treatment with a BCMA-directed T-cell engager or BCMA-directed CAR-T therapy. More information is available at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT07280013).

About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is the second most common blood cancer, with approximately 36,000 people in the United States diagnosed each year. Multiple myeloma is characterized by cycles of remission and relapses, which leads to patients needing multiple lines of therapy to manage this persistent disease. More than 175,000 patients in the United States are estimated to be living with or in remission from myeloma. However, despite treatment advances, approximately 40% of patients do not survive beyond five years.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Product Revenue totaled $1.9 billion for the third quarter of 2026, representing growth of 33% compared to the prior-year period.
•BRUKINSA: Global sales totaled $1.4 billion for the third quarter of 2026, representing growth of 34% compared to the prior-year period; U.S. sales of BRUKINSA totaled $1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2026, representing growth of 36% compared to the prior-year period.
•TEVIMBRA (tislelizumab): Global sales totaled $243 million in the third quarter of 2026, representing growth of 28% compared to the prior-year period.
•Amgen in-licensed products: Global sales totaled $167 million in the third quarter of 2026, representing growth of 26% compared to the prior-year period.
Gross Margin as a percentage of global product sales for the third quarter of 2026 was 88%, compared to 86% in the prior-year period on a GAAP basis. The gross margin percentage increased due to a proportionally higher sales mix of global BRUKINSA compared to other products in the Company’s portfolio. Gross margin also benefited from productivity improvements resulting in lower costs for both BRUKINSA and TEVIMBRA, which was offset by a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $22 million associated with our decision to discontinue promotion of POBEVCY. On an adjusted basis, which does not include depreciation and amortization, or the impairment charge, gross margin as a percentage of product sales increased to 90%, from 86% in the comparable period of the prior year.

3 Non-GAAP operating income is a financial measure that excludes from the corresponding GAAP measure costs related to share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense. Guidance assumes that Non-GAAP expenses track overall expense growth.
BeOne’s total revenue guidance for full year 2026 of $6.9 billion to $7.0 billion reflects performance through the third quarter and the Company’s expectations for the remainder of the year. Gross margin percentage is expected to be in the high-80% range and includes the impact of product mix and productivity improvements. Guidance for combined operating expenses on a GAAP basis includes expectations of investment to support growth.
The Company is providing the following additional guidance on items impacting net income and earnings per ADS:
•Other income (expense): Estimated range of $25 million to $50 million in expense, includes interest amortization from the Royalty Pharma arrangement.
•Income tax outlook: Earnings may provide sufficient positive evidence to reverse certain valuation allowances in 2026, resulting in a material tax benefit when recognized. The Company continues to evaluate and assess the magnitude but expects the reversal will occur in the fourth quarter of 2026. See Form 10-Q for additional updates.
•Diluted ADS outstanding: The Company expects diluted ADSs outstanding of approximately 118 million.
